Software Engineer in Test

Profile

Software Developer in Test

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart!

The Opportunity 

This role is a crucial role for maintaining the quality of the 

Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) - a high-performance shared-nothing distributed filesystem

. This storage stack is the foundational piece to enable hyper-convergence and hybrid cloud solutions. The software defined storage helps us power infrastructure for all kinds of applications on all kinds of platforms. That coupled with a simplicity focused design makes the engineering problem both profound and rewarding. The engineer will take responsibility for end to end quality and work with a team with a deep understanding of systems internals and distributed filesystems.

Your Role

Design, develop, and plan test strategies for features developed in Nutanix Distributed filesystem.

Develop an understanding of complex distributed systems and design innovative solutions for customer requirements.

Work on performance, scaling out, and resiliency of distributed storage systems.

Work alongside development, test, documentation, and product management teams to deliver high-quality products in a fast-paced environment.

Engage with customers and support when needed to solve production issues.

Work closely with the product management team to understand user needs and investigate customer use cases for the Nutanix Distributed filesystem software (Core Data Path) features on Cloud instances.

Design test strategies, develop test cases based on different customer use cases, and work closely with developers to understand the Nutanix product features.

Work on the maintenance and execution of the test cases from the JITA (internal continuous build server).

Automate test cases for scalability testing.

Build telemetry or validators which can identify bottlenecks in the stack quicker.

Execute automated and manual tests during product testing phases to fix all bugs in assigned area(s), including extending the existing framework and adding new core libraries to test the new features introduced by Nutanix; and automating the test cases to test the storage stack.

Perform regression testing, document the newly-identified test scenarios, and perform exploratory testing to identify further bugs.

Work closely with the Development Team to detect and analyze the root of each failure.

File defects and track them to closure.

What you'll bring:

Experienc

e in software testing (test case development, unit tests, test automation frameworks, test tools);

Experience in testing one of the following: file systems, storage systems, databases, operating systems, networking; systems administration

Experience in Unix or Linux.

Proficiency in object oriented languages like Python, Java, Golang.

Preferred Experience in Distributed systems, virtualization

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Networks  

Excellent knowledge in Networked Storage Systems or related fields with at least 3 years experience.

Academic introduction to concepts like Database management systems, Operating System and Computer Algorithm

About Your Team

The Core Data Path (CDP) team was the first team created at Nutanix. It is the team responsible for the Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) - a high-performance shared-nothing distributed filesystem. The Core Data Path team is the data-engine of the distributed filesystem, which is responsible for handling all the IO requests, placing data, handling dedupe, compression and encryption, healing from failures, etc. The work for the Core Data Path team is challenging because designing an enterprise-grade distributed filesystem means that we have strict requirements of consistency and performance, and we always have to reinvent ourselves as newer and faster drive technologies emerge.

How We Work

As a global team, we work in various regions worldwide and function asynchronously as much as possible. Every engineer is given full autonomy and responsibility to work on features while collaborating with other stakeholders. As we work on some of the industry leading solutions, we are focused on learning and leading the way when it comes to infrastructure solutions for hybrid cloud. There is also a very high emphasis on automation for every feature we develop so we keep working on innovative methods to test the stack in an automated fashion reliably. We actively participate, leverage, and contribute to open source projects whenever possible.
